How to Setup a 19" TV for your FPV Base Station

I purchased an Insignia 19″ LCD from my local Best Buy, today. It was on sale for $100. I’m not sure how it will behave with static/blue screen and am expecting to have some issues on the edge of my video TX capability. Thankfully, I have RTH set up on all of my devices. Setting the TV up for FPV was pretty simple, the longest step was making a tripod mounting bracket.

– velcro your receiver to the back of the TV, wire video out from the receiver to video in on the TV

– provide power to the wireless receiver, you can split power from the same battery if you like

Mounting to Tripod

– I designed mounting bracket that screws into the 3″x3″ VESA hole pattern on the back of the TV. The bracket is compatible with the four M4 screws that come with the TV’s base.

– Bower says this is a “Universial” tripod mount, but I believe the square tripod adapter geometry has not been standardized. If you plan on using this with a non-Bower tripod, please compare your tripod adapter geometry for compatibility
